This book needs some work
The range of occupations Dr. Thompson explores is impressive: Navajo Medicine Man wasn't on my guidance counselor's list of potential careers. The activities suggested for teachers are inventive, and she cites recent sources for her research. But the overall package looks like a sixth grade project. Photographs are muddy, graphics are poor and separated from text, and sometimes just strange. What's an ice axe doing on the River Guide's page? The packaging detracts from what should have been a stronger book. Better documentation next time.
